Gynecologic cancers represent one of the most common cancers among Indian women. Additionally, there are many young women diagnosed with cancer who seek conception. Hence, Specialization in Gynecological cancer is most important. Experts in Gynecologic cancer can make a significant difference in cancer treatment and the outcome of the disease.

Dr. Amish VoraMBBS, MD, DNB, DM- Medical Oncology, HOPE Oncology Clinic, New Delhi With increasing Cancer incidence and newer expensive medicines getting approved, Gap in Cancer Care is widening. Newer medicines are very expensive and only a few can afford them. If every patient is told that the second best option also is effective and can equally help to cure their Cancer, the financial burden will reduce, and the Gap in Cancer Care would reduce. This knowledge requires to be disseminated at a mass level and by all treating oncologists.

This requires constant dialogue with the patient and with 100% Empathy. Fight Cancer with HOPE!!

Therefore, self-examination of the breasts is crucial for the early detection of breast cancer. 60% of breast cancer cases in India are still diagnosed at an advanced stage! All women over the age of 20 should examine their breasts every month. Know your normal so that if there is any change in any month, you can report it to your doctor on time! Men should also do a self-breast examination, especially if they have a family history of breast cancer or fall into a high-risk category. If you have breasts, you need to examine them! Breast Cancer Awareness! Early detection is the best protection!

Dr. BhavinVadodariya, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), DNB (Surgical Oncology), Consultant Head & Neck Surgical Oncologist, Ahmedabad Today, on World Cancer Day, we celebrate the courage of those who have been through cancer.  It is so important to raise awareness about cancer and its impact on people and families. Early detection not only helps save lives but also empowers people to take control of their health. Cancer has touched my life in many ways, but I would never wish this illness upon anyone else. Cancer does not discriminate; it does affect everyone differently according to their age and stage when diagnosed with this disease. But there is hope! Engage in regular physical activity and limit alcohol consumption. Consume lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains, and avoid refined carbohydrates and sugars. Join us in our fight against cancer!

Dr.Kapil Dev & Dr.Jitnder Kumar Pehalajani, Sr. Consultant (Surgical Oncology), HCG Cancer Centre & Sr.Consultant (Medical Oncology)HCG Cancer Centre, Jaipur Cancer is a disease with increasing incidence and prevalence in India. The mainstay is awareness regarding cancer symptoms, prevention, diagnosis, and treatments. The symptoms of cancer can be as vague as headaches, fever, bleeding, weight loss, swelling, and vomiting. A healthy, balanced diet free of alcohol and tobacco, as well as age-appropriate exercise and physical activity, are the vaccines for various cancers. Early cancer detection can save many lives by allowing people who are asymptomatic but at risk of certain cancers to be tested. Surgery is a vital part of treating organ-related cancers and is the only way to cure them. Organ preservation, reconstruction, and minimally invasive surgery are recent surgical advances.

Dr. Vidhi Shah, MBBS, DNB General Surgery, Fellowship in breast surgery, Consultant Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon, ACI Cumballa Hill Hospital, Criticare Hospital, Fortis Hospital, Mumbai  Gone are the day when breast cancer was thought to be the disease of elderly ladies of the western world. With the present-day lifestyle, we are seeing more and more young females being diagnosed with breast cancer, and that too of an aggressive variety. The cause is multifactorial— be it hormonal imbalances in form of early menarche, late marriages, and childbirth, stressful lifestyle, or dietary habits of processed food intake. The key is to diagnose these cases at an early stage for a better long-term prognosis. Routine Self-breast examination starting as early as 25 years of age with routine screening mammograms in high-risk cases would aim at early diagnosis.
